600 WIN ON CLEVELAND.

Charley Goodwin writes an edi-
torial correspondence to the Salt
Lake Tribune, from Washington,
as follows:
The celebrated Irish orator Hugh
Mohan was wont TO call President
Cleveland His Nibbs". Adopting
his title | should say that in the
way he treated the Utah bill His
Nibbs" did not cover himself with
unfading laurels. He was either
insincere in his message, or he is a
coward now When we reflect that
at first he knew nothing about Nor
monism except by common rumor,
and that since then he has been
forced to learn some facts regard
ing it, it is hard TO avoid the con-
clusion that at the beginning he
was insincere, was merely indulg-
ing in a party cry; or that his treat
ment of the bill when it finally
reached him was something to make
honest men everywhere hang their
heads in shame.
